Purchase red, blue and brown cardstock, assorted scrapbook papers, ribbon and cardboard letters – for less than $18.00! You'll also need decorative scissors, a hole punch, paper cutter and plain scissors and then you'll be ready to roll!
*We recommend Lee's Art Shop: 220 W. 57th St.
Instructions:
1. Cut the blue and red cardstock in 4 equal pieces per sheet. Then cut scrapbook paper “squares” slightly smaller than cardstock, so that the cardstock will act as a border.
2. Only purchase one set of lowercase cardboard letters because they are $4.99/package. Yikes! Trace the letters on the brown cardstock. Cut the letters out carefully.
3. Place the cardstock and scrapbook papers in an alternating order.
Next, make sure all the letters are correct and in the right order. Then glue the scrapbook paper and cardstock together, and glue the letters to the scrapbook paper.
Using a hole punch, punch 2 holes in each card. (Note: In this photo, you will see that I made two rows on the banner, so I punched 4 holes in the cards where I attached the lower letters.)
Tie the cards together using ribbon. You can alternate the ribbon and knot it behind each card like I did, or you can thread one long piece of ribbon through all the cards.
There it is! A gorgeous homemade banner made by Mommy Blogger, Maya! Terrific Work!
